Drosera derbyensis 5.08

clone 8, Plant rosettes +6 cm in diam, leaves hairy white, traps red, scapes bearing white flowers +30 cm tall | 35 km east of the Derby end of Gibb River Road, Kimberley, Australia | Original ID: D2308-08

Second photo is similar to 3.06's main photo, but with the 5.08 in focus.

From my notes - The less hairy sibling of derbyensis 3.06 (D2308-06). It still produces hair on the leaves/stems (especially near the crown of the plant) but I feel 5.08 (D2308-08) has enough missing to stand out. Leaves appear a more lime green compared to it's sibling. There is a chance I just caught 5.08 as it was transitioning from non-hairy to hairy leaves (some petiolaris complex species will change leaf morphology a bit as a mid-stage between normal growth to dormancy and vice versa), so don't take this description as the absolute truth.

*** June 2026 Classification Update - I did something a little different with this clone. It didn't exist in my collection prior to June 2026 but it does share the same parent batch of derbyensis 3.06 (D2308-06). As mentioned in the notes above, there is enough of a difference between the two that I decided to give it a number increment. I MIGHT renumber this to derbensis 3.08 so all plants are hard coded to the initial tissue culture batch, but I haven't hit that point yet. This so far is my only outlier. ***
